Would You Play Video Games With President Obama? [Survey Says]

If you could play a video game with any celebrity, who would it be? A recent survey conducted by Weekly Reader Research reveals that boys aged 8-17 want to get their game on with President Obama . Who did girls pick? President Barack Obama better start boning up on his Wii Bowling skills . The survey, commissioned by video game retailer Game Crazy , polled 1,005 boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 17, asking them what celebrity they’d like to take on in a video game battle. President Obama took the top spot in the boys’ list, with 25% of male respondents choosing him as their ideal opponent. The President triumphed over New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who scored 14% of the vote, as well as actor Seth Rogen, aquaman Michael Phelps, and the Jonas Brothers, each tied for third place with 12%. The President didn’t fare quite as well with females, taking second place with 13%, losing to Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, both garnering 23% of the vote. Lady Gaga took third with 9%, while Tomb Raider Angelina Jolie brought up the rear with 7%. I’ve an odd feeling that Angelina would have scored much higher with the 18-35 year-old male demographic. The survey also asked kids which famous rivalries they’d like to see settled by video game competitions. 43% of boys picked the NBA’s LeBron James versus Kobe Bryant, while 34% of girls played the Twilight card, calling for a duel between Edward Cullen and Jacob Black for Belle’s love, proving once again that there is something seriously wrong with the majority of girls aged 8-17.
